Red Hot

We had a street sale today. If we could have sold the answer to what this plant is, we might have actually made some money. 🙂 This plant is called a Red Hot Poker, Poker Plant, or Torch Lily. It’s pretty impressive and definitely stands out in the garden. Best yet, it’s a perennial, so…
Music video!
ByDerek
I’ve never had a music video before, and this is probably as close as I’ll ever get. Big thanks to Chris Byrd for posting his video from the Apriori art show held at the Terminal in early 2006, using a piece I wrote as background music. That piece was the Bergomask Dance, from a suite…

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
